“Don’t worry, you’re still welcome on conspiracist-friendly platforms like Twitter and the subway.”
Alex Jones Finally Penalized by Twitter
During this time, Jones cannot send tweets or retweets. He can still send direct messages to people who follow him and can browse the site.
Twitter is citing Jones for a tweet linking to a live video of Jones talking about “web censorship.” The video has been taken down, but in a clip posted by the liberal media watchdog group Media Matters, Jones says, “Mainstream media is the enemy … but now it’s time to act on the enemy before they do a false flag.”
He mentions taking action in courts, among other things, and says, “People need to have their battle rifles ready.”
In the tweet of the citation posted by Infowars, Twitter explains that its users “may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so.”
A Twitter spokesperson told NPR that Jones’ account currently has limited functionality.
In the past few weeks, YouTube, Apple, Facebook and Spotify have banned Jones’ main platforms over concerns about his content.
